1. Group Trains Air Force Cadets to Proselytize

Group Trains Air Force Cadets to Proselytize

A private missionary group has assigned a pair of full-time Christian ministers to the U.S. Air Force Academy, where they are training cadets to evangelize among their peers, according to a confidential letter to supporters.

The letter makes clear that the organized evangelization effort has continued this year despite an outcry over alleged proselytizing at the academy that has prompted a Pentagon investigation, congressional hearings, a civil lawsuit and new Air Force guidelines on religion.

"Praise God that we have been allowed access by the Academy into the cadet areas to minister among the cadets. We have recently been given an unused classroom to meet with cadets at any time during the day," the husband-and-wife team of Darren and Gina Lindblom said in the Oct. 11 letter to their donors.

Following allegations of religious intolerance at the academy, the Air Force issued interim guidelines in late August that caution senior officers against discussing their faith with subordinates. But the guidelines do not limit "voluntary, peer to peer discussions," and they do not say whether Air Force officials can provide office space or other assistance to professional missionaries who train cadets to evangelize among their peers.

2. What do you mean by the term 'brain wash'?

It has several different meanings and for the most part there is no such thing as brainwashing.

What's described in this article is social bullying of the first order and while unacceptable has little chance for success in terms of indoctrinating large numbers of people into their religion. It is almost always the uncritical or emotionally unstable people who will internalize religious views contrary to what they learned in childhood. The majority may go along to get along, but in the end this kind of stupidity will only leads to antipathy toward the religion and its' proselytizers.

3. Ah, more Christians being persecuted....

The only group that gets 24/7 unrestricted access to cadets is this fundamentalist, born-again Christian group," Weinstein charged.
